On March 14, 2010 The Eastern Native Tree
Society and Western Native Tree Society switched from discussion lists
on Google Groups to a new discussion list in a Bulletin Board format at:
http://www.ents-bbs.org/index.php
Posts made since the inception of the BBS on march 14, 2010 will be
sorted and archived on the BBS. Click on the link above to go to the
equivalent section on the new BBS. This website will continue to serve
as a front end for the ENTS and WNTS groups. It will continue to serve
as a repository of older posts, and will serve as the host site for
special projects and features that are not well suited for a BBS format.
Please visit the BBs for the latest information and trip reports.
